There’s a lot to love about a Seabourn holiday and the breadsticks are right up there on the list. This recipe is the exact one used by the Seabourn chefs to bake 1500 breadsticks each and every day. Recreated at home, it’s what your Friday evening wind-down wine has been…

Rumour has it the sun is coming back and – call us overeager – but if we can’t be on the Amalfi Coast, we’ll be in the garden, eating al fresco and rounding off dinner with this sweet, syrupy Seabourn treat. No you’re comfort eating your way through this… Serves 2…
